この映画について

In this inspired, genre-twisting film, Oscar-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets behind a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of a lively, fun-loving past and the shadows just beneath. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: a complex, messy, intense and deeply loving tangle of contradictions.

評価とレビュー

It is a family story. A love affair story. I am really moved by this piece. However, I notice how easy for the beautiful girls to abuse their power. In the old wisdom, "never believe in beautiful girl" still works here. OK. no need to stigmatize the gift from Jesus Christ. It is just a choice of life-style. It is OK. That happens in Montreal - the sexiest city in North America.
